The Observer/Cape Graphic Short Story Prize

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

The Observer/Cape Graphic Short Story Prize is back – and has fast wangled its way in as one of the more interesting prizes every year. (The prize is celebrating its fourth birthday)

Fancy putting yourself in the running for £1000, a story in print and as much media coverage as you can shake a stick at? This is probably a good place to start then!

The judges will be some hard nuts to break this year with Audrey Niffenegger, David Hughes, Rachel Cooke, Dan Franklin, Paul Gravett and Suzanne Dean all casting their critical eyes over each entry.

You can check out the winners from previous years – here and here.
